Another M82 😀

More that 20 hours of integration time. Specially dificult to display the fine details but it was easy to use only one telescope to capture all data.

Messier 82 is a starburst galaxy approximately 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. A member of the M81 Group, it is about five times more luminous than the Milky Way and has a center one hundred times more luminous.
